Stone Hotel/ball & chain

You can get Stone Hotel by Reagan Butcher as a PDF file now. So here is my favourite poem from that book in my shelf (well I copyied it from that file):

ball & chain

a few old girlfriends write to me in prison
it’s nice
they all have boyfriends, husbands, children
and good jobs
i have concrete and razor-wire, steel doors
and psychopathic neighbors
but i don’t think
i’d trade places with them
because in a few more years
i will be free
and it seems that they
never will be
